A girl with an eccentric, repressed childhood grows up attracted to the odd detail in everyday life and to the strangest people.
Amélie is a little Belgian girl born in Japan. Thanks to her friend Nishio-san, the world is full of adventure and discovery. But on her third birthday, an event changes the course of her life. For Amélie, everything is at stake at that age, happiness as well as tragedy.
